Living in the land of socks.....Oh My!
I feel like I haven't posted in forever but it has only been 3 days! LOL
I've been so into the whole sock knitting thing ya'll! Brooke and I met for Stitches'n Brews on Sunday. She couldn't believe that I was finishing up a sock within an hour and that I was knitting a sock on size 7 DPNs and Cascade (yes it was a pixie sock)! She and I both were under some dillusion that all socks must be knit on size 1's or 0's but after some reading that isn't always true. I think the sock bug bit her while we were hanging. LOL I've missed hanging out with her. We are so much alike that it is scary folks! Our moms were both born in the same month and same year, we were both in colorguard in highschool, we romped the same grounds in our highschool years but never met, just to name a few. Wild huh?
She's been crazy busy in and out of town the past 2 months. I can relate! Is it just me or does spring seem to bring out the bee in all of us? (you know busy as a bee? okay if I'm the only one that got that leave me a comment about it)
My bed every night has turned into a yarn bed. I'm constantly pulling out various stash yarns, swatching a little bit of them and trying to determine if I can knit a sock out of it or not. I didn't realize how many yarns I have that are knit with size 10 needles! I digress, it's time to go DPN shopping again. LOL
I've decided to knit my Applebee pal Micky a pair of socks for his birthday which is Monday. (Don't you just love how I wait till the last minute?)He's been helping me save money by buying me drinks for the past year. LOL Not to mention that I do not know how his foot size. OH why Lesley why! So I grabbed out my handy dandy book (that I had to knock the dust off last night) called "The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns".
It covers just about any guage or size. I'm working on a nice pair of black socks which I have no idea what yarn this is either.
**looks down and writes on To-Do list "MUST GET YARN STASH ORGANIZED!!!"**
Tell you what. I think a contest is in order. I've never had one before on my blog but hey what the hell. So here it is....
Sock knitting...
Who ever can send me a good pattern for socks that use size 9 DPNs will win something super cool!! I'll post a pic of the prize later tonight.
The contest ends on Monday because you know I hate tuesdays.
LOL
Ya'll Rock!!!
XOXOXO
